In today’s mobile computing, Linux plays a significant role. The Linux kernel has been adopted by a variety of mobile operating systems to handle tasks such as device management, memory management, process management, networking, power management, application interface management, and user interface management. This chapter introduces Linux based mobile operating systems installed on various mobile devices. It first gives a brief introduction of the history of mobile Linux. Then, the chapter introduces the mobile Linux features that can be used to meet the mobile learning requirements. The last part of the chapter presents strategies on selecting a Linux based operating system for a particular mobile learning project.

Technical Standardization

How does an emoji come to be? In 2010 emoji character sets were incorporated into Unicode Standard 6 which allowed “picture characters” to become standardized alongside text-based characters. The technical standardization allowed emoji to be used across devices, operating systems, and Internet platforms, producing a technical codification that made it easier for emoji to circulate widely. This paper provides a brief history of emoji, focusing on the technical standardization that demarcates emoji as unique from emoticons or other pictographic or iconographic formats, and examines the factors Unicode delineates as key for emoji inclusion and exclusion, and who ultimately decides whether an emoji will be created.

The Individual

The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the intersection where digital media studies meet rhetoric and rhetoric is re-introduced to musicology. In the recent academic excitement surrounding game studies, the music of games has been overshadowed. The author would like to call attention to the significance of game music and to consider a rhetorical method to approaching it that calls upon a rekindling of the history of coupling rhetoric with music. The author builds on this history by suggesting the foundation of a rhetorical framework for understanding the argumentative power of video game songs. He then moves to offer an approach for evaluating the ethos of game music that consists of assessing worlds and how they are carried through, and by, music. While 17th century baroque composers thought music to be fundamentally an issue of affections—and especially played off of emotional binaries such as joy/sadness as a rhetorical approach—the author hope to here revive this lost art of applying rhetoric to music through broadening the discussion beyond the matter of human emotion. This rhetorical approach allows the individual a framework with which to evaluate the ethos of game music as it now appears through numerous mobile operating systems, online environments, and as remediated forms manifesting in/as cultural artifacts. As games become ubiquitous, so do their songs.

The article presents an extracurricular event “History of informatics in dates”, conducted using infographics. The article justifies why infographics will allow us to memorize historical events associated with the development of informatics. The dates and information from the history of the development of the Internet, computers, microprocessors and operating systems are given. The work with dates is carried out in a game form.

Activity Information

For many computer forensics investigations, the discovery of the complete activity history of users is an essential part of the process; however, due to the complexity and variety of current modern personal computer operating systems, the availability of useful tools is limited. This limitation is based on the tools ability to retrieve the relevant data and present it to the investigator in a user friendly format. The current software tools that claim to extract user activity information put the onus on the investigator to construct the timeline from the data which can introduce errors and is time consuming. This paper discusses the development and evaluation of a new tool, the User Activity Tracker (UAT), which automates the visual presentation of the timeline process by retrieving and consolidating user activity data into a single source and producing as accurately as possible, the timeline of user activity on that computer. The UAT tool was tested against a modern commercial forensic tool and the results of this preliminary testing showed that the UAT tool was faster and required less manual intervention to produce a greater level of detail of the user’s activity than the commercial tool.

The wearable technology is carefully expected as a next generation business platform which can lead to changes from the smartphone-based hardware and software market. In this paper, we consider whether wearable computing environment with unlimited potential would require an operating system or not by comparing with other computing environment such as a general-purpose computer. In addition, a brief history of wearable technology and the necessity of studying about operating systems for highly merged wearable devices with software systems will be discussed. We also review the features of existing operating systems in different computing environments and discuss the elements that a wearable operating system should have.
